Bill, I'm curious as to your situation. I assume you have a 5000 and need a preamp.
Unless you use a really inefficient antenna or have a really lossy feedline, keeping the preamp in the shack will not penalize your reception and be way easier to trouble shoot should the need arise. The sky temperature on 6 meters is rarely low enough to require less than a 2 to 3 dB system noise figure. Even then, one would need a complete absence of man-made noise and a G/T figure of merit not easily obtainable in 50 MHz antenna systems to notice any difference. On 2 and 432, the sky is much quieter and mast mounted is desirable. However, I easily subscribe to the notion that if a little bit is good, too much is even better.
